Sentimentality

This is really more of a junk drawer post, but I'm getting kinda tired of that title, lol… Anyhow…

You're a sentimental person, right? I mean, I've always gotten that sense, and then you were wearing your grandfather's shirt that one night…

Well. I'm sentimental, too.

So, I traded in my fretless bass for a beautiful new-to-me 5 string. I was biting off more than I could chew with the fretless. I'm nowhere near skilled enough for it yet, nor do I have enough time to get there. But a 5 string…

I told a friend about it and he asked: will this also replace the Fender? The Ocean Turquoise 4 string P-Bass that I'm pretty sure I was originally subconsciously attracted to because it reminded me of your eyes? And I didn't even have to think about it: No. Absolutely not. Ok, fine, I probably do not need to own two basses (um… three if you count the acoustic…)… but… they each have their purposes, lol. The number of strings and color of their finishes aren't the only differences, though I won't bore you with the details.

But, no. That Fender… I'm keeping it forever. Rightly or wrongly, there is an association deep within my heart between that instrument and my love for you. Not to mention, it still reminds me of your eyes… No. I'm never letting it go.

Whether I play it or not (and I will), it has so very much sentimental value to me now. Which I suspect you would appreciate…

Random song share, courtesy of Spotify's algorithm. It hit me because, while we aren't even together yet… it's absolutely true: You Are the Best Thing - Ray LaMontagne. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Speaking of The Algorithm, this is from a couple of weeks ago, but… It's long been clear that Facebook Knows, lol. You have always been at the top of my friends list, for at least the past year, even though we only recently started messaging each other there.

But I was taken completely by surprise when the very first time I went to share a photo on my new phone, never having ever texted you from it yet…

And you were right there, the very first option in the share sheet. And not Facebook Messenger — this was for texting.

So it seems somehow Google Knows, too. Lol. Scary in a way. But you know I am never going to complain about seeing your face looking back at me, even if it is from a teeny tiny little circle on my phone's screen…

Gosh, ⭐️… I just love you so much. Lol. Will you ever get bored of hearing me saying that? I hope not. I want to tell it to you in person. I want to tell you every single day. Show you it in my actions. The things I do for you. The ways I touch you. I want, more than anything else in this world, for you to feel my love, and know that it is real.

I love you.

Yours,
